The British government has warned its citizens to stay away from areas where demonstrations may take place following President Uhuru Kenyatta's inauguration on Tuesday.
The Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO), in an advisory on Thursday, warned UK citizens of possible disruptions of peace following the disputed October 26 vote.
The election was upheld by the Supreme Court on Monday, resulting into protests in some parts of the country.

FCO said there may be significant disruption owing to the political tension in the country in the wake of NASA's plan to conduct a parallel swearing in ceremony.
The Opposition has vowed to administer an oath of office for its leader Raila Odinga who has dismissed Uhuru's win raising legitimacy concerns.
"There may be significant disruptions spreading to nearby roads. Political tensions are high and demonstrations and clashes are possible," UK warned in its advisory.
"You should exercise caution and, where possible, avoid travelling around areas where demonstrations may take place."
The foreign mission asked the citizens to stay away from large gatherings, universities, political party headquarters, and IEBC offices.
The election period has seen an increase in protests across the country, particularly in the western region, some of which have turned violent.
Uhuru's inauguration ceremony is scheduled to take place at the Kasarani Stadium in Nairobi.

The government, through its spokesman Eric Kiraithe, has said it is not bothered by NASA's plan to swear-in Raila as long as it is done in private.
"The government would not be concerned with their programme so long as the alleged swearing-in is done in private," he told journalists in Nairobi.
Kiraithe said: "The question of Raila congregating his friends to swear him in is not an issue and has no legal concern."
He added that if the NASA fraternity held the event somewhere without interfering with the rights of other people, then the government would not even be concerned.
But the opposition's insistence on conducting the ceremony in public signals a possible confrontation with the government.
